The Citroen 2CV Tea Cosy knitting pattern is a bit off the wall but looks so fantastic. the Citroen 2CV is characterful with its headlamps and mudguards and looks delightful on a teapot.

Introduced in 1948, the Citroën 2CV is a characterful vintage car that will charm you and look amazing on your teapot.

I was asked to design a bespoke tea cosy in the shape of this classic car by a lady living in France. The Citroën 2CV is very distinct with its quirky features; I knew I had my work cut out.

What I love about the Citroën 2CV tea cosy is the ‘face’ of the car. When you first put the headlights on it looks cute, but when you add the front indicator lights, she smiles. The car suddenly comes alive, its heart warming.

The Citroen 2CV Tea Cosy uses Stylecraft Special DK yarn. The pattern calls for double thickness yarn on the main part of the tea cosy for added insulation.

The Citroen 2CV tea cosy fits a medium sized teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints.

The pattern will be available for digital download as soon as you have completed purchase, so you could start knitting it very soon!

This product is the knitting pattern only to make your own Citroen 2CV tea cosy.
